Trump Accounts, giving newborns $1K, to launch July 4

The Washington Times reports on the upcoming launch of 'Trump Accounts,' a government-funded investment initiative for children born during President Donald Trump's second term. These accounts, created under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, will provide a $1,000 initial contribution from the Treasury Department, which will be invested in the stock market. Semiconductor company Micron has pledged $250 million in support, including a $250 deposit for children in certain counties. Billionaire Michael Dell and his wife have committed $6.25 billion to fund the accounts, providing $250 to 25 million children. However, questions remain about funding, particularly regarding the $3.6 billion annual cost to taxpayers, which Trump claims will be offset by a 3.5% tax on foreign remittances.
